Commercial: At the Soupcon Soup Company, we take our commitment to deliciousness very seriously. We will continue to make constant improvement to the quality of our ingredients and the methods by which we keep those ingredients fresh and ready for you to serve! That's what makes us AMERICA'S #1 SOUP!

If the statements made to the left are true, which of the following must also be true?

A. Soupcon's rival companies can stay competitive with Soupcon only by adopting similar policies in regard to deliciousness.

C. Soupcon's commitment to deliciousness can progress at the current rate only as long as there are higher quality ingredients and preservation methods to which it can strive.

E. The majority of American households use Soupcon soup.

OA. C

IMO C!

A talks about rival companies which is not covered in this argument.
B talks of any soup company which is not covered in this argument.
D talks of soup companies resting on laurels but this is irrelevant.
E is out of context.


Hence, B!
